I'ma start saying "rinses" all the time.
This. This thread may have some value.

the correct word is "launder". "Conor will launder Justin."Also I don't know what "rinses" means, I just made it up but it sounds like something a Sherbro would say so I used it here.
As far as I'm concerned, this thread's a legend. I'm gonna start saying it irl too, bc I actively wanna see people thinking to themselves, "The fuck he say? Rinses??" and looking all puzzled.This. This thread may have some value.
Gaethje has way, way better cardio, more heart, better chin, and better power. McGregor's power is one of the biggest myths, especially at LW. He would have a speed advantage, but that's about it.I remember that, Diaz is a stylistic nightmare for him. Every guy Conor beat would beat Diaz (likely). On to the topic, Everything Gaethje does is inferior to prime Conor. People like to hate him, but there was no striker better than him in his prime, in his divisions. I can only give Gaethje the cardio advantage and even that was never one of his strengths (partly because he fought so wild yes). I cannot see that fight being very competitive at all (hypothetical prime Conor one).
Movement, variety, speed, precision, power, iq… There is nothing that favours Gaethje there, expect cardio to some degree and I guess leg kicks. But even that is much harder to land on prime Conor.
I would argue that Gaethje power is one the biggest myths ever. Something like Paulo Costa. Volume puncher who has some KO wins against lesser competition. When he entered top 5, we all saw it for what it is. Long wars, landing strikes in 100s, but never finishing his fights (well we have this leg kick KO). He is everything that Conor wasn’t.Gaethje has way, way better cardio, more heart, better chin, and better power. McGregor's power is one of the biggest myths, especially at LW. He would have a speed advantage, but that's about it.
Like I said, prime McGregor might make it competitive, but current McGregor is a shell of his former self.
Frankly, I doubt he ever wins another fight. Certainly not against a killer like Gaethje.
In McGregor's prime he might have been competitive, but remember that he lost badly to Nate Diaz in his prime. McGregor now gets absolutely destroyed.
AgreedMcGregor ain't gonna do shit. I don't even believe he'll ever fight again. He'll be a 50 year old man in 15 years, on twitter still claiming he can dust everyone.
Seriously, fuck that chump. That's all he is these days. A loud mouth, do-nothing chump.
